The Chevrolet Bel-Air, especially those of the mid- to late- 50s, will always count as one of the prettiest cars ever made.

With that wraparound windscreen, those fins out back, and chrome upon chrome upon chrome, the Bel-Air is the quintessential American car. And now you, too, can have a slice of America that isn't in apple pie form, but in picture-on-your-laptop form.

Just look at all that yellow metal. It's like the best taxi in the world.
